Sunny with pleasantly warm air temperatures (feels like 20 °C) at Table Cape Reefs, yet the sea remains several degrees colder than the air. Most surfers will need a spring wetsuit though a summer suit or even a shorty may suffice for a short session.

Table Cape Reefs sea temperatures peak in the range 18 to 21°C (64 to 70°F) on around the 7th of February and are at their minimum on about the 27th of August, in the range 13 to 14°C (55 to 57°F). The maximum Table Cape Reefs sea temperatures in the first part of February require something like a 3/2mm fully sealed wetsuit. The minimum sea temperatures at Table Cape Reefs in the last days of August are ideally suited to a 4/3mm wetsuit + 3mm boots, although a 5/3mm wetsuit may be preferable for longer sessions and cold windy days.
